treewide: uapi: Replace zero-length arrays with flexible-array members

There is a regular need in the kernel to provide a way to declare
having a dynamically sized set of trailing elements in a structure.
Kernel code should always use “flexible array members”[1] for these
cases. The older style of one-element or zero-length arrays should
no longer be used[2].

This code was transformed with the help of Coccinelle:
(linux-5.19-rc2$ spatch --jobs $(getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN) --sp-file script.cocci --include-headers --dir . > output.patch)

@@
identifier S, member, array;
type T1, T2;
@@

struct S {
...
T1 member;
T2 array[
- 0
];
};

-fstrict-flex-arrays=3 is coming and we need to land these changes
to prevent issues like these in the short future:

../fs/minix/dir.c:337:3: warning: 'strcpy' will always overflow; destination buffer has size 0,
but the source string has length 2 (including NUL byte) [-Wfortify-source]
strcpy(de3->name, ".");
^

Since these are all [0] to [] changes, the risk to UAPI is nearly zero. If
this breaks anything, we can use a union with a new member name.

net, uapi: fix -Wpointer-arith warnings

Add casts to fix these warnings:

./usr/include/linux/netfilter_arp/arp_tables.h:200:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]
./usr/include/linux/netfilter_bridge/ebtables.h:197:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]
./usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv4/ip_tables.h:223:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]
./usr/include/linux/netfilter_ipv6/ip6_tables.h:263:19: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]
./usr/include/linux/tipc_config.h:310:28: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]
./usr/include/linux/tipc_config.h:410:24: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]
./usr/include/linux/virtio_ring.h:170:16: error: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic [-Werror=pointer-arith]

Those are theoretical probably but kernel doesn't control compiler flags
in userspace.

License cleanup: add SPDX license identifier to uapi header files with no license

Many user space API headers are missing licensing information, which
makes it hard for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default are files without license information under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPLV2. Marking them GPLV2 would exclude
them from being included in non GPLV2 code, which is obviously not
intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.

Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX
license identifier. The chosen identifier is 'GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note' which is the officially assigned identifier for the
Linux syscall exception. SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne. See the previous patch in this series for the
methodology of how this patch was researched.
